That makes me really happy! Honestly, I have not yet voted as I still need to think about many of the questions!

Loved answering these questions! Some of them definitely made me pause (and probably overthink my answers). I've been a quiet reader for some time, but I wanted to thank you for sharing the fun - and all of your other intricately written newsletters.

Chelsea, thank you so much. I’m really glad you enjoyed it. That makes me happy. It was quite a little (and admittedly scary) diversion from the usual letters, but it now feels worth it.

Gosh a lot of questions where I want to ask qualifying follow ups.

Like can I go hike/bike/explore near the Ryokan during the day?

Because being trapped in a Ryokan for 7 days would suck. But I can think of plenty that would be a magnificent base for exploring the vicinity, especially if I can pick the right time of year

And on the Nature v Culturally rich, how do places that are both count? The Kumano Kodo for example? and how much non-nature are you allowed? I mean Shimanami is sort of nature, but it has a lot of honking big bridges connecting the islands

Ahaha, I hear you! But even I don’t have the benefit of the full context when voting - it’s more of an initial-reaction kind of thing :)
